America's Got Talent: The Champions (often abbreviated as AGT: The Champions or simply AGTC) is a spin-off of America's Got Talent (also known as AGT), a televised American talent show competition, created by Simon Cowell. The program is produced by Fremantle for the NBC television network, and first premiered on January 7, 2019.[1] The program functions similar to AGT, but involves a variety of participants taken from across both AGT and the Got Talent
franchise – including winners, finalists, live round participants and
other notable entries – who compete against each other to secure a place
in a grand final, in which the winner receives a cash prize and the
title of America's chosen "World Champion" within Got Talent.
The spin-off is hosted by Terry Crews, who is joined by a panel of judges – at present, the panel consists of America's Got Talent judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon.[6] Unlike the standard format for any edition of Got Talent, The Champions'
contest is not held live – votes for the best act are conducted under a
different voting system, and episodes are pre-recorded and aired a few
months after the competition has ended. Following the first season, NBC
renewed the spin-off for a second season that premiered on January 6,
2020.[7][8]
In May 2018, executive producer and Got Talent creator Simon Cowell met with executives of NBC
to propose the idea of a spin-off competition for the franchise. Cowell
had conceived of the idea for a global competition, based on the talent
that the franchise had produced across the years from its various
international editions, including the American original, and suggested
that the competition incorporate some of the most memorable and notable
participants from across Got Talent's
history competing against each other within a venue in the United
States, where the franchise originated from. Executives favored the idea
greatly, due to the success of America's Got Talent, and opened discussions on the format of the broadcast for the spin-off, which they agreed to have the subtitle of "The Champions".
The decision was for the contest to be held between September and
October that year, but with the program pre-recorded – filming would
take place throughout the competition, and episodes of all stages would
be edited before their broadcast as part of the network's 2018/2019
winter schedule, thus ensuring those involved in the spin-off, both host
and judges, would not have any conflicting work schedules to prevent
their participation on The Champions. The new spin-off soon gained approval for production, and its creation was announced on May 12, 2018.
As part of the new production, Cowell decided that, alongside himself, the judges from America's Got Talent's thirteenth season would be involved in the spin-off competition – Mel B was the first to announce her involvement on July 27,[12][13] with Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel revealed a month later.[14] However, the main program's host Tyra Banks
could not be involved in the spin-off; media outlets had begun
speculating that her upcoming work schedule after the thirteenth season
would likely lead to her leaving America's Got Talent,[15]
which later proved correct in the following months. Instead, Cowell and
the producers sought another television personality to take on the
role, and chose actor Terry Crews to be the host of The Champions.
The program proved popular following its broadcast, with NBC later commissioning The Champions
for a second season. On September 26, 2019, Crews Cowell, Mandel and
Klum were revealed as returning for the new season, with singer and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon replacing Mel B, after she had left America's Got Talent prior to the fourteenth season.[17]
Unlike the format and operations of the main competition of America's Got Talent, including the main rounds being aired live for each season, The Champions
operates on a different arrangement. Participants for the competition
are chosen by production staff and researchers from those who are most
notable within the history of AGT and the Got Talent
franchise altogether – those selected with an invite to participate in
the contest range from winners, runner-ups and finalists, to the best
and most notable acts in the franchise. Once all places are confirmed as
filled – each participant must confirm that they are eligible for
participation without anything likely to obstruct their involvement –
work begins on the competition itself, though unlike the main program,
the competition's individual stages are filmed, before being edited by
the production staff for broadcast at a later date. Filming of the
competition takes place once the first preliminary is ready to be
conducted.
The contest is held within a fixed venue, with all the
participants divided into five groups of ten performers, with each group
instructed to be at the venue on a specific date to begin their part in
the competition in a preliminary round. The preliminary round functions
on a mix of formats and arrangements for judges' audition and live
rounds, in that each participant is held within a waiting area, from
where they can watch the performance of those before and after them,
before being called out to the venue's main stage to conduct a new
performance for the competition; a montage sequence, consisting of their
background and performance in the respective edition of Got Talent,
is crafted by production staff, who edit it into the episode of the
preliminary round they are performing in. As with the main program, the
judges provide feedback on a performance once it is completed, and can
use buzzers to denote an act that they do not find interesting,
effectively stopping a performance when all buzzers are used. The host
remains in the wings, and is filmed at times to provide commentary on
the participant's performance for the episode covering the round. Once
all participants in a round have completed their performance, an
off-stage vote is conducted with a panel of 50 voters, dubbed the
"Superfan" panel, who determine which of the ten secures a place in the
next stage.[18]
Alongside the vote, participants may also advance through receiving a
Golden Buzzer from one of the judges or the host, though while the rule
for its use remain applicable in the competition, it was amended for The Champions
with a condition – one Golden Buzzer can be used in each preliminary
round; if three of the judges and the host haven't used it in a round,
and the host should use it, then the judges yet to use it must wait for
the next round to do so. A Wild Card may also be chosen by the judges
for the final, once all preliminaries are completed, from any
participant eliminated in these rounds. In the finals, the Superfan
panel ultimately decide who reach the grand-final, and which of the
grand-finalists wins the competition.
In the first season, the competition's rules allowed for around fifty participants to compete in The Champions.
The format of the program was set around a series of preliminaries, in
which a "Superfan" vote, made by a select panel of voters, and the
Golden Buzzer, determined who moved on to the next stage; a WildCard
vote by the judges also allowed through one more participant for the
next stage. The remainder of the contest was then divided between a
final, and a grand-final. By the second season, the format was changed.
The number of participants was reduced to forty, with the rules of the
competition modified so that each preliminary would see around three
acts being advanced into a Semi-finals round – two from the Superfan
Vote, and the third voted for by the judges amongst the acts placed in
3rd, 4th and 5th respectively – with those reaching the semi-final
competing for six places in the Grand-final, alongside those who had
advanced into it with the Golden Buzzer.
